I'm talking directly about data that has been released, and about the potential of AI. It's wild that you have an inability to imagine more than 3 days into the future. Yes, AI doesn't currently exceed human intelligence. I don't know why you think 2023 is the end-all for technological progress.
I also didn't realize I was talking to someone who didn't know what the bourgeoise was. Nobles and lords were not bourgeoise, they had fundamentally different relationships to capital. If you want to redefine the word and use it in a way nobody ever has, go for it, but it makes conversations with other humans unnecessarily complicated.
In the future, only use words that you understand the definition of, or if you insist on making up your own definition, make that clear from the start.
Yes I know what you mean now, I didn't know what you meant when you fabricated your own definition and didn't inform me of your special definition that nobody else uses.
In the future, when talking to people, it's best to either use widely accepted definitions or make it clear that you're using your own for god-knows what reason.
By the actual definition of bourgeoise, which is what I was talking about, I'm obviously correct. If we adopt your definition where you're just using it as a synonym for "ruler", I won't claim to know the future. Maybe AI will be a benevolent dictator, or maybe we'll have a proper dictatorship of the proletariat, or maybe we'll have a proper free society. Who knows. But capitalist realism is still an absurd and stupid position considering it's only been a thing for 200 years (unless you're also redefining capitalism in your world where you just make up your own definitions of everything).
